Info dump episode, lots of characters appeared again which was really nice. I'm glad that everyone at Anteiku seems to be okay, although I know Touka must be suffering at the moment. I'm really liking Akira, she seems to be just as experienced as her father was.

Not much happened, but I can tell somethig big is going to happen soon. I'm liking the slow pacing so far.

I fcking love the opening, I seriously do.

Ep was nice. Who's that Kaneki and Ayato are after? Maybe that martial artist we manga readers know?
The art in the ED was soo good.
Waiting for the 3rd.

This episode is boring like hell, the CCG part is way too redundant honesty no one cares about what happen to them.

Hahaha that rejection scene was even better animated.

The OP song is kinda growing on me, so is the ending song some more.

Season 2 is owning season 1 so hard, the quality is like bd level or something

The insert song is freaking good

I actually liked this episode. So much feels especially the part where kaneki was doing his thing with the aogiri while touka and the others are celebrating in anteiku. I am also loving Akira!! Tho I find her father really annoying in the first season. The CCG scene/meeting was interesting but a bit boring imo

Looking forward for the succeeding episodes. I'm also looking forward to know more about the twins!!! Omg they're also one eyed ghouls right?? (saw it when their masks got removed)

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

Eto with that smile. Made me curious is to what her plans for Kaneki are. She seems interested in him now.

Perhaps doesn't make much sense to the actual conversation but if someone's into voice actors and related but i think these two guys are voice by Yoshino Hiroyuki (left) and Sakuya Shunsuke (right)

Specially the second one i have a even more strong feeling that's Sakuya Shunsuke because his voice is really similar to Shibazaki Kenjirou from Terror in Resonance.

Are you kidding me like seriously. We were given information about Owl, CCG's upcoming plan, a new character was introduced, Touka subplot, and Arima flashback. What else did you want from this episode, more action. This episode was essential in building up for the upcoming episodes. Without build up the action won't be satisfying.

It's like people just only want action these days, oh well what can I say different opinions.

I liked the flashback at the start and CCG's strategy.

They spent too much time on the Touka subplot. She wants to study. We get it.

The new character makes me cringe. She spends half a minute explaining that she doesn't like being polite because it wastes time and then she says 'sorry' and bow/curtsies to Amon (SHES BEIN POLITELEZ). Like... smh...

And that fanservice at the end with the bandages... w/e man.

And where is the MC? 2/12 episodes and we've had like 6 mins of him on the screen, let alone even saying anything.

It's could be due to the fact that I'm having to wait for an episode every week, rather than marathoning this, but this season is just so boring for me.

Akira was being sarcastic and still mocked him in the end so no she wasn't polite.

And since when did showing a lower part of someone's face became a fanservice ?

The studio needs to learn how to make interesting episodes. Even Bleach fillers are more interesting than that :/

We may learn many things, but they aren't even linked between each others, everything is just too confusing. We need to know what the hell Kaneki is thinking instead of seeing him doing whatever for 2 minutes each episode.

This episode pretty much the same as manga and lol for ppl who complaining.If They adapt ss1 with 24 episode we probably get episode like this more than action episode.(If they stick to manga we probably won't see kaneki for 1-2 whole episode lol.)

Ah yeah well your lucky you saw even 2 minute of him because he doesn't appear for a whole 5 chapters in the manga. And did you honestly think they'd answer the important things right in the first 2 episodes?

Honestly, I've been waiting for the whole first season. This is a second season, we don't need no introduction episode or whatso. I was anticipating action from the first episode especially how S1 ended on a cliffhanger.

This is what pisses me off with Tokyo Ghoul. Kaneki is not interesting, he is an emo kid and this was the worst choice for a hero. I'm not even surprised when you tell me he didn't appear for 5 chapters. For the second part, no. But I know most of the things aren't going to be answered at the end of season 2 once again, so why.

Wow I am surprised at the not-so-positive view towards this episode. Being an avid manga reader of TG, it was never crossed in my mind that I am here to defend the anime. Imo they really did a great job at introducing the CCG folks and having a break from action a little bit is all good to me.

and I think the majority of viewers who are fine with this ep are manga readers since they know the significance of these characters in later story.

also for those who were having hard time with this CCG episode might have trouble to read the original esp the sequel since action was never a core focus in TG.

lol idk if you already read the manga but you probably be more pissed if you did.

and tbh, I think Kaneki was being quite OOC in the anime from the scene he left Touka in episode 1.

Wow, I have to say that I'm really enjoying this surprisingly. They've integrated both adapting the manga and simultaneously integrating an alternative Kaneki route quite well so far. Apart from Kaneki's decision to join Aogiri everything else seems to be going the same way. Very interesting indeed.

One complaint is the graphics/animation which is shit, it looks like an anime from 2004. Goddamn studio pierrot.

maybe in this route, Kaneki kun is not even our main concern anymore. we have a buncha other things to worry about.
